ISIS | 7500 Network Zone Configurations

Avid ISIS | 7500 Zone 2 Network Configuration
The 10 Gb ports connected to the ISIS are also serving as uplinks to the ISIS for clients on either VLAN. Each
VLAN on the switch is connected to the appropriate VLAN in the shared storage network using the 10 Gb port.
Client count can be scaled according to the number of switches and available switch ports.
ISIS | 7500 Zone 1 and Zone 2 Client Configuration
The number of ports available on the ISS (Zone 1) makes it necessary to add another layer of clients through a
qualified network switch to create a (Zone 2) in the ISIS shared storage network.
A mixed configuration (Zone 1 and Zone 2) consists of clients connected directly and indirectly through ports on
the Engine’s ISS. The following illustration shows two System Directors that connect to the Engine via two
separate Zone 1 ISS 1 Gb ports for use as a redundant System Director in case of a failure. Both System Directors
also connect to each other through the onboard Ethernet connections to monitor if one of the System Director
fails.
